Why it matters

AI agents lose all context between sessions — Memex provides Zettelkasten-style persistent memory using plain markdown and git sync, with no vector DB dependency, making it the simplest path to durable agent knowledge that works across any MCP client.

Best for

Developers using Claude Code, Cursor, or Copilot who want persistent cross-session memory without deploying a vector database.
